Session 1: the unknown future; "singularity U"; black swan metaphor:
The black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight.
Change is speeding up; how do we help our students prepare for the future world of work.

Setting up a separate blog for the course is recommended so I will do that.
How will technology help education?
"schools around the world are using new software to “personalise” learning." - biggest grumble from my NCEA English class is that teachers don't help them personally enough [not about English after a term with a teacher intern and me giving feedback on their google doc! The non-grumblers get on with using resource provide on the site and, like grammerly, available to everyone. Some have "learned helplessness", however no teacher has the time available for one-to-one help.
I think "Brain gym" does work - because moving and getting air into your lungs helps energise you; "muscle memory' certainly helps in Drama,Music, Dance and, I daresay, PE where just working with your brain will not create a fluid performance.
